For some reason I feel like I shouldnt sleep on my side because someone once mentioned getting clogged ducts from sleeping on their side. Do you guys sleep on your side or back?
While I was pregnant I dreamed about sleeping on my back and belly, I still cant sleep on my belly but now i hate sleeping on my back after being stuck on my back for days at the hospital. Is it ok to keep sleeping on my side?

@Mrsbells: I sleep mostly on my sides & early on with breastfeeding I didn't sleep on my stomach but after awhile if I wanted to I could as long as I had pumped or nursed a few hours before & wasn't really full.
ETA: I should add that I had no problems with side sleeping!

I mostly sleep on my back because I dont want to sleep on my side when I am not nursing. I miss my snoogle but that isn't safe in the bed with the baby (we co-sleep with my 1 year old). I just now can spend some time sleeping on my stomach. Much like the PP only if I have nursed or pumped recently. I haven't had any issues with clogged ducts. I have heard that any pressure can do that.

I sleep on my back and side! I sure miss sleeping on my stomach!

I'm not a big stomach sleeper to begin with, but after I pump it feels nice to lay on my stomach. I always sleep on my sides, and no problems so far.

I sleep on my side and didn't have any clogged ducts.

I sleep on my side and usually on my left side. I got a clogged duct last week! It could have been coincidence though.... It's either one or another haha

The only position I try not to sleep in is on my tummy. I read somewhere that you shouldn't while breastfeeding in order to allow for better milk production, but I don't know if that is true. I mostly sleep on my sides now, as I have a little dream feeding piranha, and I never had any real issues.

I sleep mostly on my side but lately have been laying for a bit on my stomach.

I sleep on my side but for no reason but that it's the closest to my tummy as I can get!
-
I nurse lying down on my side and often fall asleep on my side. I love sleeping on my back though.

I always sleep on my side and stomach and have been BFing for 9 months now. No clogged ducts or mastitis ever for me. The only time stomach sleeping got super uncomfortable was if I got over engorged.

I sleep on my sides and stomach, but prop my head and chest up with pillows to keep the pressure off of my rather large boobs. Works like a charm! No issues so far.

Thanks guys!

I'm on my side with zero clogged ducts so far! (I"ve never heard of that btw.)
